The way they sell this stuff is misleading - the actual max power delivered to the antenna is then multiplied by the supposed antenna gain to get a "effective" power. 3db is roughly twice the power so 5 db will jack that 1 watt real power "up" to 4watts claimed power. Thanks to the inverse square law into an omni antenna you get pretty insignificant gains in range.The two boosters put out 4 Watts can't wait to see the new range
Oh man, where to begin...
There's a thing called VSWR that is a measure of match to an antenna.
There's not an antenna on the planet that is out of the box a perfect match to your transmitter and receiver.
Add a signal booster onto that...
It isn't clear that the "amplifier" is receive only or transmit and receive. It's likely that it is only receive which means it can give you a false sense of range.
In either case another item in the pipeline to adjust for match.
Are there adjustments and instructions for how to line match these things?
If not you could actually be reducing your signal.
So is there a trim to adjust the antenna match? Any mention of using a SWR meter?
I will be interested at a future date in a more reliable signal so this isn't just me poo-poo'ing the products.
With extra batteries attached, yes. Just under 40 minutes flight time.So with the RexUAV antenna you were able to travel 54,200ft one way? and round trip 108,600ft with a single battery?
what antenna did you end up using?
How long does the battery last when using the amplifiers?
What's the output power of this?Modified with AlienTech antenna for USD$220, indoor signal triple.

They fly the mavic 499 meters high? That's like 1500 feet high, where is this? In China?
Yes, this was in China, i think they are testing the limits of this mod.They fly the mavic 499 meters high? That's like 1500 feet high, where is this? In China?
Have you tried it flying in the height of 400 feet?Yes, this was in China, i think they are testing the limits of this mod.
What I use it for is that, I live in HK, city full of skyscrapers, I mod this so it won't be to much of an interference. I didn't mod for pure breaking the limit
